Innovation Week Event

SURGE’s Annual BrainHACK

Presented by the SURGE Science Innovation Sandbox in partnership with Dal Innovates

Dive into the future of neurotechnology at SURGE’s annual BrainHack, a weekend-long hackathon where students come together to build innovative Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) projects using OpenBCI systems. Over two intense and inspiring days, you’ll collaborate in teams and compete for the best BCI application. Whether you’re decoding brainwaves, building neurofeedback apps, or inventing new ways for the brain to interact with machines—this is your chance to push the boundaries of human-computer interaction.

Join us at the SURGE Science Innovation Sandbox, located in LSC Room 2660, from September 19 to 21. Stop by to explore exciting opportunities, connect with innovators, and discover how SURGE can support your ideas and projects.

BrainHACK is delivered in partnership with EmployNXT.
